Title: Overlooking a Majority!!
Post by Deval on 04/16/03 at 01:45:10

Well well well, don't really know how to start this... K I'm gonna get right to the point. There is one topic that has been suggested many times, and the majority of players agree, well the old ones anyway. It's time to listen to the players, and once and for all, bring back Pern Valley. Seriously, it is constantly reminisced over, many many people have declared thier lust to have it back in game, and in my own opinion it is one of, it not 'the' best/funnest area every released in Nightmists entire existance.

Everyone wants it back. Please, I urge you, take heed of this conglomeration of voices, give us pern. Quench our thirsts for a glory that once was. Please. Pern Valley NEEDS to come back, with the same map, perhaps different monsters and such, but still the pk'ing town of love. I know Sakra was made to try and fill its shoes, but it does not even hold a fart to a flame in comparison.

Get a group together and try to map out how it was like.  I Know some details on it myself.   Perhaps JLH could pull the old server up for area descriptions?  Open up these details and I'd be more than glad to help bring this area back.

When it comes to memory, I'm the wrooooooooooong man to be asking, I have to take pills n stuff to help my memory  :-/

I'd be happy to help build it and whatever else is required.

If JLH could indeed pull up that info as you suggested, Odin and myself would be more than willing to do what is required to have that golden oldie returned to its former state of glory.

I would love to help anyway possible.I kinda remember the the way it was mapped.I don't remember the desc. though.Maybe JLH would help?This is a great idea!This place was a classic!Maybe you could make and connect the pern valley town(Non Undead) to this one too like it was?Maybe you could also make the monsters give good exp like they used to?The exp they used to give wasn't great, but it was good enough to make people want to train there. :D

Edit:Another good idea would be to make the path to it connected to the barracks.This could be how the town is ran by undead :p

I started playing right after the reset, so I was unable to play this area, but would be more than happy to help Stotic get it in.

I'm pretty sure JLH has no longer got the old nightmist stuff anywhere. He couldn't bring back descriptions I don't think.

I still have all the old building notes for every area I ever created saved somewhere, including pern valley.

ive got most of the old maps....no descrips though....and its all on paper, but i might be persuaded to re-make them with ms paint or something...just to bad it takes so darn long for me to do so(anyone know of an easier way/program to make maps?...free of course).

.....also, as i suggested a while back, from what ive hard there was to be a port city put in(no idea if its out or not yet, as i havent been there at least)....but id say bring back ALL of the old nightmist(excepting that the old city of nm would conflict with the new one...so we can just make that all ruins....saying it was destroyed in the re-shaping of the world).....anyway, as i was saying there was to be a port city, we could put in the entire old map, on the other side of the sea. and have a charter ship carry us from the port city to the docks in north keep and vice versa(have a seperate ship to travel to new zenland).......now wouldnt that ROCK!!!

drizz, you have the idea that Isyng was toying with.  The question I would need to know is would people prefer a separate continent or just have parts of the old blended with the new?  I guarantee that the 2nd one would be easier, but that doesn't make the first one impossible.  The saliva is dripping from my lips over this project.

A serperate continent is ideal, but I'd be happy to see Pern Valley itself come back, the rest is just a bonus! If you put the elven village back in, make it useful for something :P

Woooooooooooo! Bring on the emerald warriors! Good ol Emerald City.

Drizzt I'll send u a pm with a good map making program.

Temple of Giants wus wicked, I want that back! Dunno if they would put the Ogre Lord in or not, but he RULED. So much levelling done there, so much. He's how me and Odin got to level 30 in old mist.

Yeah it would be cool if they did bring back the Ogre.They could have him drop the Ogre Helm like in old! :D.

From an overlook for the current nightmist world map a reasonable location and in accordance of old time pern valley could be northeast of arilin. Arilin being around where Cloud City was, although pern was NW of Cloud being connected by Temple of Giants, since the Barrier Forest would be somewhat NW of Arilin a reflection of old Pern would fit nicely NE of Arilin.
But ofcourse this wouldn't work out as good if a Temple Of Giants wasn't there to connect them together.

Hmm, I think Windia is our new Cloud City  ;)
Title: Re: Overlooking a Majority!!
Post by Disjunction on 04/17/03 at 21:33:01
If you read what I posted I did not say Arilin is the new Cloud City, I said Arilin would be around where Cloud City was in accordance to how the map would be for the addition to be put in. East of Windia you got chronos and all that good stuff and in every other direction from it there’s already an existing area so the addition would work better from Arilin. Try reading the post thoroughly and you might understand it.

stotic....i think you must have overlooked my pm to you.....

...ive made up some of the maps from the "old world" and need to know where to send em.
Title: Re: Overlooking a Majority!!
Post by Norinth on 04/19/03 at 13:43:34
I said Windia, not Arilin... Maybe you are the one that has got to read before posting  :).

Two towns with the same purpose and theme... Try creating an Underground Town instead.

Norinth, What the hell are you talking about?

I remember Roughly what pern undead was like. And.... nope cant remember any of the living side.

But I bet you I could walk the old map from nightmist to cloud city to the sslix back to cloud city, to northkeep, and back to nightmist again without lookin at the screen to see if i was doing it right.

Lol Its just something that burns in my mind, but when i try to put it into like a picture or something it goes away. Ever get that happening to you? Pain in the @ss is what it is....
